Articles about Rajesh Chauhan


Profile:

When Ajit Wadekar became the Indian coach in the 1992-93 season, he formulated a strategy for victory at home: select 3 spinners to exploit under-prepared wickets. Rajesh Chauhan was selected as the off-spinner to compliment Kumble and Raju. Just when the trio was becoming as deadly as India's famous spin trio of the 70's for visiting batsmen, disaster struck. Chauhan's action was questioned and instead of fighting it out like the Sri Lankan board did with respect to Muralitharan, BCCI decided to drop Chauhan even though he was never no-balled in a match. While in the wilderness, Chauhan continued to bowl well in the domestics and picked up 55 wickets in the 1996-97 Ranji Trophy. In 1997, a BCCI special committee cleared him. He was recalled for the 1997-98 tour of Sri Lanka, as the selectors overcame the mental barrier of picking a cricketer who is 30-plus. His most memorable performance since has been with the bat - a last over 6 to carry India to a sensational victory vs Pakistan in Karachi. He also bowled beautifully against Sri Lanka in the Mumbai test (figures of 4-48 and 3-59) which India almost won. This spirited off-spinner is able to exploit turning tracks and tests the best of batsmen with a teasing line and length. Looking back, he admits that that the failure to force a victory against the West Indies in the Nagpur Test of the '94 series was a low point in his career. This cricketer projects a rare faculty in the Indian domestic scene - courage in the face of adversity. He believes that one has to be positive and do his best to be in the reckoning. Unfortunately continuing doubts about the legality of his action combined with mediocre performances has seen him drop out of contention for the Indian side.
